Default Touring fender on softail Fatboy?

I'm sure it's been done so I have to ask, has anyone out a touring fender on their Fatboy? If so, is it a straight bolt on?

I have a 2011 Fatboy Lo in vivid black. I want to add a smooth front fender but the only one that's truly smooth is from a bagger.

Can it be done with ease?

Not a bolt on. Get a Heritage or Deluxe fender for direct bolt on. The mounts are different on a bagger.

The other fender that is smooth is made by Klock Works it is called the Benchmark. I have a benchmark 21" you can heave cheap if you want. Let me know. What size wheel are you putting on, or are you keeping stock or stock size?

Keeping stock Fatboy wheel, but I like the look of the smooth Heritage fender better than the Fatboy fender. Problem is, trying to find one that's smooth and already painted vivid black. That's why I was curious about the bagger fender. Plenty of those out there for sale. All the Heritage & Deluxe fenders have holes in them for mounting of the chrome junk. I don't want that.

I have a Heritage clone fender on mine, bolted right up. Painted it myself, total investment of $110.00!

The fender I have will work but is designed for a 21" wheel. It is smooth but needs paint. Lemme know if you want a pic. $175 brand spanking new.

I wish I had the equipment and experience to paint a fender. So far I got a quote of $325 shipped for a painted fender.

Hogpro, I'll pass on the fender. I'm keeping the stock wheel.
